D.O.W.I.- warm

Today’s D.O.W.I. is the word warm.  Picked by mine truly, he walked outside and then came back in,  he said “see momma, I can come up with a word outside, I felt warm, so that’s my word.”  By all accounts in the English dictionary, the word “warm” means as follows:

                However, the word warm, can mean soo very much more than that.. It is a feeling  of safety, the heartbeat of love, warm is the touch of the sun drenching you as you bask in the breeze, as you swing, or sit, listening to the waves crashing around you.  Warm is a cold, cozy place with layers of cushion surrounding you, reading and learning, or

escaping into the world of the unknown.  Warm is the place where time stands still, when your eyes meet, and the spark is  electrifying and rare, and oh so real.  Obvious to onlookers around.  Warm is the innocence, the wonder filled eyes, those that sparkle, of a newborn child. Warm is the nuzzle of a cold, wet nose, of a Max or Mr. O’malley, or a Mojo, who knows.  Warm is a hug, a longing desire, standing in the shadows, burning in the fire.  Warm is content , that you’re doing it right, even though there are questions, every night. Warm is the hug of a child’s laughter, wrapping you up tight, into a happily ever after.  Warm can be anything, anything you can see, warm is defined differently for you and for me.  So make it what you will, one moment at a time,

“Tell me, the word warm, how will you define?”

D.O.W.I. – Pretty

Welcome to my D.O.W.I.  (Daily one word inspiration) page! Here I will showcase one daily  word picked  by my son that I will write about.  I am a day behind, but we will start with yesterday. We were riding on the way to school and I asked him to give me a word for inspiration, he is 8 so there is no telling what would come out of his mouth, but he chose the word “pretty”.

Pretty…. What is pretty? Who defines pretty? Pretty good, pretty ugly, pretty smart, pretty funny?  Short, tall, thick or thin? Blonde, red or brunette?? Athletic, slumped, boastful or shy,  discouraged, or full of life, all of these terms describe someone, yet, by no means should it define someone.  Pretty is inside, it is ….intellectual, passionate, driven, and brave.  Pretty is standing up for what is right, and not just going right along. Pretty is letting loose when you find yourself following all of the rules. Or choosing to follow the rules when unlike so many other times, you have broken them before. Pretty is showing you care,  going against the grain, being the inspiration, the exception without even knowing!

So Smile to a stranger, laugh out loud, extend a hand to someone falling, and fail a time or two. Let go of the control, and see where it leads you, or take the reins for once in your life and drudge up ahead of the rest! Whatever you do, break down the barriers, the walls of disbelief, let your soul SHINE!! And I promise you, whether it is the courage to just bask in the sun, and do nothing at all, or rise up and lead the world, opening every door, I’m pretty damn sure you will do alright. And the “pretty” will keep you souring, like a beacon of hope, a ray of faith, a shining light for all to see… for eternity.
